HYDROCARBON-BU RN ER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 417,302, dated December17,1889.

Application filed A g 3, 1888. Serial No. 281,893. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern Be it known that we, JOHN ILSON and ALLANMAsoN, citizens of the Unit-ed States, and residents of New York city,in the connty and State of New York, and Brooklyn, Kings county, NewYork, respectively, have invented certain new and useful Improvements inHydrocarbon-Burners, of which the following is a specification.

This invention consists of a contrivance for providing a simple andefficient injector-burner attachment adapted for being applied to thefurnace by merely setting it in position before the same and inconnection with the furnacedoorway, and for being as readily detachedsimply by the removal of it whenever it may be desired to resort to coalor other like fuel again, or for replenishing a coal fire when oil isused therewith, all as hereinafter fully described, reference being madeto the accompanying drawing, which represents a sectional elevation ofour improved detachable burner and a boiler-furnace to which it isapplied as for use.

\V e provide a portable stand or bench 61, preferably havingvertically-adjustable legs Z), and arrange the burner on it, using ahood or case c to surround and partly inclose the burner, and having anozzle (Z to enter the 0 fire-doorway e, and a collar or pipe-thimble fto close the slack space around the nozzle, also preferably having theenlarged and perforated middle section 9 and the funnelshaped outer end71, in which hood we ar- 3 5 range the burner consisting of the smallcentral mixing and combining tube 2' and the larger surrounding tubej,with the steam-jet nozzle 7c, located in the combining-tube, and theoil-feed pipe I, arranged to deliver the oil so as to drip on the nozzleand break up into small particles as it flows into or upon the jet ofsteam issuing from the nozzle, said steamnozzle and oil-feederpreferably having connection with the steam-boiler n and the oil- 4 5supply tank 0, respectively, by means of flexible pipes k and Z,allowing the burner-stand to be shifted without detaching the pipes, sothat when it is desired to use the hydrocarbon-burner in conjunctionwith a coal fire the burner may be conveniently shifted out of the wayand back again when the coal fire is to be replenished or when it may bedesirable to shift said burner for any purpose; but the burner may beconnected by rigid metallic pipes except when it is desired to so shiftit.

The hood 0 affords protection to the burner as well as support, andfacilitates the induction of the air for promoting combustion, besidesclosing the portions of the doorway- 6o openings exterior to the burner.It also prevents excessive radiation of heat from the burner, both bythe cooling effect of the air driven in from its outer end and bydrawing the surroundingair through its perforations, the induction ofwhich through the perforations is facilitated by the enlargement of thatpart of the hood.

\Ve may employ any approved form of injector-burner apparatus such as isadapted for burning hydrocarbon fuel generally, and do not limitourselves to the particular contrivance of burner herein shown.

The special advantage of this device is the simple and ready applicationit affords of a hydrocarbon-burner to the exterior of the f urnacewithout any fitting whatever, as against the common contrivance offitting the apparatus in the furnace.

Instead of flexible pipes, the equivalent de- Vice of metallic pipeshaving swingjoints allowing the stand to be shifted may be employed.

The burner may be slung or suspended by chains or rods, instead of beingmounted on a bench, if desired.

hat we claim, and desire to secure by Let ters Patent, is

1. The combination, with a furnace, of the portable stand, theinclosing-case mounted on the stand and having a nozzle entering thefurnace-door, the collar closing the space around the nozzle, the injectonb urner inclosed in said case, and the flexible pipes connectingthe oil-feeder and steam-nozzle of the 5 burner with the boiler andoil-tank, respectively, substantially as described.

2. The combination,with a furnace, of the portable and vertically-adjustable stand, the inclosing case mounted on the stand and having thenozzle entering the fire-door, the collar closing the space around thenozzle, the

injector-burner inclosed in said case, and the flexible pipes connectingthe oil-feeder and steam-nozzle of the burner With the boiler and.oil-tank, respectively, substantially as described.

3. The combination, with a furnace, of the portable andVertically-adjustable stand, the inclosing-case having the enlarged andperforated middle sect-ion and the nozzle entering the doorway, thecollar closing the surrounding space, the injector-burner inclosed insaid case, and the flexible pipes connecting the oil-feeder andsteam-nozzle of the burner with the boiler and oil-tank, respectively,substantially as described.

Signed at New York city, in the county of New York and State of NewYork, this 12th day of April, A. D. 1888.
